Thanks for sharing this. The modularity is an interesting way to look at things. I fear 'real world' circumstances such as structural stability (when lifting this up by the handles) and the cost of manufacturing the various units would make it untenable. Made me smile, though.

As a Web and Graphic Designer, and a Mac Pro user, I have felt that at times the Mac Pro was sometimes an odd fit. My needs might be different from a CAD Engineer, or a Video producer, or a rabid gamer.

Since the Mac Pro seems to be Apples orphan, there are no longer Mac Pro graphics in Apple stores, I wonder about the platforms future. Tim Cook has promised us "something great" in 2013... but that could easily be an odd beast such as an "iMac Pro"

I like the concept. Manufacturing, predicting demand, warehousing, and all that would be a challenge. I think it would be nice of Apple to license a special Pro version of their OS so that the small group of workstation users could make Hackintosh computers that could fit their own needs. Its a very small bunch.
